It is with
a drop of tears that we have said good bye to Marion, after three weeks of
wonderful service in our hospital here in Chaaria.
She will
still be in Kenya for other two weeks, but today she has joined the other
Canadian volunteers who have come today for a free medical camp in Mikinduri.
Marion in
fact belongs to the “Mikinduri Children of Hope”, an organization which has
supported Chaaria in different ways for a good number of years.
She is a
scrub-nurse and she has worked with us in theater, helping us in so many
operations: “I have scrubbed for more operations here in three weeks, than in
six months back at home in my hospital”, she has told me before leaving us in
the morning. The sentence of Marion is very sweet to my ears, because it means
that Chaaria is really helping so many people in need. We work a lot here,
because people come to us and trust us.
Marion is
also a wonderful person with whom we have really enjoyed working: she is humble,
jolly, simple and very professional. We will really miss her, although we hope
to see her again in the next two weeks, when the Canadian friends will refer
patients to us: actually Chaaria has always been the referral hospital for the
free medical camp of Mikinduri.
Personally
I have enjoyed an extraordinary experience of friendship with Marion, and I
have very much appreciated the way she has behaved during her volunteering
experience.
Her humility
has made Marion loved by the whole staff of our theater, and everybody has
worked with her in full cooperation.
I really
appreciate the collaboration with the Canadian volunteers of the “Mikinduri
Children of Hope”, and I thank my friends Ted and Ed for making many people in
Canada know about the good job we are doing here in Chaaria for the needy.
We hope
Marion will come again to Chaaria, and will spread the news of our good work
back home in Canada, so that many other doctors and nurses may come to help us
from there in future.
We wish
Marion and her family all the best and we promise her to pray for her.
We also
thank the benefactor who has given us a very generous donation through the hands
of Marion: we will use the money to help the poor, and we will be completely
honest and accountable.
May God
bless you, Marion!
